This work describes the god of marriage as "Taper clear" "in [a] Saffron Robe." It describes triumphs found in "weeds of Peace," and references other poets whose "Sock be on" and "fancies chide." Its idyllic imagery include "the milkmaid singeth blithe," and "the mower whets his sithe." Although it is partly set where "Corydon and Thyrsis met," its setting eventually shifts to a place where "throngs of knights and barons hold," the "Towered Cities." Its opening speaks of a "dark (*) Cimmerian desert" and a "Stygian cave forlorn." With a speaker that loathes Melancholy, it ends with the lines "These delights, if thou canst give / mirth with thee, I mean to live." For 10 points John Milton poem that is a companion piece to "Il Penseroso." [Ike]
